## Overview

## Description

Chemi-pure is the original formula for over 50 years with millions of satisfied customers. It was invented by Dick Boyd in the 1960's. Chemi-pure combines high grade granular activated carbon with advanced ion exchange resins offering superior filtration for your freshwater, reef, or marine aquarium. Together, this proprietary blend removes odors and color- causing dissolved organic molecules along with toxins, medications, phenols, and dissolved metals. Chemi-pure's exclusive media formula has an ideal pore size for absorbing nitrogenous wastes and dissolved organics in your aquarium water while being the safest filter media available. Chemi-pure will keep your aquarium healthy, stable, and crystal clear. Keep Chemi-pure sealed in container until ready for use. Rinse lightly under running water then place nylon bag in any external power filter, canister filter, or filter sump. Chemi-pure should be replaced approximately every 3 months depending on bio-load. If more than one Chemi-pure filter bag is used, change one at a time every week until all bags have been replaced. Use one 10 oz. unit for up to 50 gallons.

Review: Works very well , has been around a long time because it works . - I like a few types of media because they simply work great and this is one of them but do not have a favorite . I do the same thing with all which is rinse in cold tap water , let them sit 2 days in container of cold tap water then rinse it out and place in filter , I do this because even with the most delicate shrimp , etc I have found does not in any way change PH . Either way after the 2 days I just plop this in filter and replace in couple of months or so.
Review: Last a long time - Probably some of the best chemical media on the market, although I don't use much Chemical still this is a good option if you want to clear up cloudiness, medication etc...
